Superb match-up and style wise going to be tough for both. Both hit hard as hell. Pavlik has the reach and height advantages but can he just walk straight in while Abraham is ready to counter from behind that solid defense.

Someones getting knocked out and I'm not sure who.

Well done Kelly Pavlik im glad he is staying at Middleweight and taking care of business at his own weight class before he moves up, its for certain the right match up no question in my mind, Kessler and Calzaghe can wait.

Long way aways but if both are still undefeated than WOOWWW the first big fight in 2009. Would love it to be in Cleveland.

Yep, But it will probably be in Madison or Vegas.

I like Arthur he has the supeior trainning and his Defense is better, both are SOILD punchers. WOW what a matchup.

It is good that both fighters are staying at their weight class. Clean up your class ala Hagler then go outside.

I think Pavlik will win but I say that with no great conviction. I want Pavlik to win he's one of my favourite fighters. Both fighters are pretty slow and not very agile. I think Pavlik has to show alot of patience in this figh,t as if he just try's marching Abraham down he's in for a shock. Mid Miranda was patient and still got caught.

This could be a case of who connects flush 1st and Abraham has the better defense and probably the better chin.

Intriguing fight and I'd pay to watch this fight.

A potential to be a Barn Burner

I have to agree as well 9th rd max. Abrahams great guard could be his downfall or falldown. He looks like a punching bag out there. A great opportunity for Kelly to jab guard dig body

Most likely not. Too bad though.

I say Pavlik by stoppage. In between rounds 5-9. Depends on how many clean shots he catches Abraham with. I see Pavlik really laying into the body draining Abrham and letting those arms hang lower and capping him off. He will go into a shell and get his ribs busted up. I see Pavlik throwing between 70-90 a round and Abrham throwing between 30-60. Pavlik has the faster straiter more powerful jab. And that is it. He can really hurt guys with a strait jab. He is like a middle weight version of Foreman.

[barron71]

He will not be fighting the same way as he did against Edison. KING will beat Kelly, plus where the fight will be will also be a factor.

Stoppage by Kelly.

Not necessarily a KO, Abraham is solid, but his jaw may give out or Kelly's relentless ressure will force him out imo.

Is say Pavlik By Tko, Both guys are solid. But Abraham does not have the fastest pace and throws wides shots. But anything could happened, But I pick Pavlik stalking Abraham with the one-two, Pavlik will get busted up. But I think Abraham will get distracted by the Pavlik jab and never see the constant rights of Pavlik.... Pavlik By Ko 9..... FIGHT OF THE YEAR

Plus i think Abraham is far too defensive and while Abraham is in his defensive shell, Pavlik will be hammering him, and putting him on the back foot. I agree with your prediction 9th round TKO sounds about right but no way a tough SOB like Abraham gets KO'ed so i'll say he gets stopped while on his feet.
